Banaras Hindu University (BHU) (IAST: kāśī hindū viśvavidyālaya IPA: /kaːʃiː hɪnd̪uː ʋɪʃwəʋid̪jaːləj/) is a collegiate, central, and research university located in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India, and founded in 1916. The university incorporated the Central Hindu College, founded by Indian Home Rule-leaguer and Theosophist, Annie Besant in 1898.[6] [7] After Besant and her associates were marginalised,[8] the university was established by Madan Mohan Malaviya with the support of the maharaja of Darbhanga Rameshwar Singh, the maharaja of Benares Prabhu Narayan Singh, and the lawyer Sunder Lal. With over 30,000 students, and 18,000 residing on campus, BHU is the largest residential university in Asia.[9] [10] The university is one of the eight public institutions declared as an Institute of Eminence by the Government of India.[11] [12] It is also one of the 12 institutions from India in BRICS Universities League, a consortium of leading research universities from BRICS countries.[13]
BHU has often been referred to by different names throughout the history and present. Some of the English names include Banaras University,[14] [15] Benares Hindu University, and Hindu University.[16]
The university's main campus spread over 1370acres, was built on land donated by the Kashi Naresh Prabhu Narayan Singh, the hereditary ruler of Banaras ("Kashi" being an alternative name for Banaras or Varanasi). The south campus, spread over 2700acres is built on land donated later by Maharaj Kumar Aditya Narayan Singh in Sunderpur,[17] hosts the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (Agriculture Science Centre)[18] and is located in Barkachha in Mirzapur district, about 60km (40miles) from Varanasi.[19] [20]
BHU is organized into six institutes, 14 faculties (streams) and about 140 departments., the total student enrolment at the university is 30,698[3] [21] coming from 48 countries.[22] [23] It has over 65 hostels for resident students. Several of its faculties and institutes include Arts, Social Sciences, Commerce, Management Studies, Science, Performing Arts, Law, Agricultural Science, Medical Science, and Environment and Sustainable Development along with departments of Linguistics, Journalism & Mass Communication, among others.[24] The university's engineering institute was designated as an Indian Institute of Technology in June 2012, and henceforth is Indian Institute of Technology (BHU).[25]
Centralised in 1916 through the Banaras Hindu University Act, Banaras Hindu University is India's first central university. BHU celebrated its centenary year in 2015–2016.[26] [27]
History
The Banaras Hindu University was jointly established by Madan Mohan Malaviya, Annie Besant, Maharaja Rameshwar Singh of Darbhanga Raj and Prabhu Narayan Singh and Aditya Narayan Singh of Narayan dynasty, while the university is the brainchild of Malviya.[28] [29] [30]
At the 21st Conference of the Indian National Congress in Benares in December 1905, Malaviya publicly announced his intent to establish a university in Banaras. Malaviya continued to develop his vision for the university with inputs from other Indian nationalists and educationists. He published his plan in 1911. The focus of his arguments was the prevailing poverty in India and the decline in income of Indians compared to Europeans. The plan called for the focus on technology and science, besides the study of India's religion and culture:[31]
"The millions mired in poverty here can only get rid (of it) when science is used in their interest. Such maximum application of science is only possible when scientific knowledge is available to Indians in their own country."
-- Madan Mohan Malviya
Malaviya's plan evaluated whether to seek government recognition for the university or operate without its control. He decided in favour of the former for various reasons. Malaviya also considered the question of medium of instruction and decided to start with English given the prevalent environment, and gradually add
Hindi and other
Indian languages. A distinguishing characteristic of Malaviya's vision was the preference for a
residential university. All other Indian universities of the period, such as the universities in
Bombay,
Calcutta,
Madras, etc., were affiliating universities which only conducted examinations and awarded degrees to students of their affiliated colleges.
[32] Malaviya had supported Annie Besant's cause and in 1903, he had raised 250,000 Rupees in donations to finance the construction of the school's
hostel.
[33] In 1907 Besant had applied for a royal charter to establish a university. However, there was no response from the British government.
Following the publication of Malviya's plan, Besant met Malviya and in April 1911 they agreed to unite their forces to build the university in Varanasi.[34]
Malaviya soon left his legal practice to focus exclusively on developing the university and his independence activities.[35] On 22 November 1911, he registered the Hindu University Society to gather support and raise funds for building the university.[36] He spent the next four years gathering support and raising funds for the university. Malaviya sought and received early support from the Kashi Naresh Prabhu Narayan Singh and Rameshwar Singh Bahadur of Raj Darbhanga.[32] Thakur Jadunath Singh of Arkha along with other noble houses of United Provinces contributed for the development of the university.[37]
On 22 March 1915, then Education Minister Harcourt Butler introduced the Benares Hindu University Bill in the Imperial Legislative Council.[38] In his speech, he remarked about the university:The Benares Hindu University Bill was passed on 1 October 1915 and assented by the Viceroy and Governor-General of India on the same day.
BHU was finally established in 1916, the first university in India that was the result of people's efforts.[39] The foundation for the main campus of the university was laid by Lord Hardinge, the then Viceroy of India, on Vasant Panchami 4 February 1916.[40] To promote the university's expansion, Malviya invited eminent guest speakers such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jagadish Chandra Bose, C. V. Raman, Prafulla Chandra Ray, Sam Higginbottom, Patrick Geddes, and Besant to deliver a series of what are now called The University Extension Lectures between 5–8 February 1916. Gandhi's lecture on the occasion was his first public address in India.
Sunder Lal was appointed the first vice-chancellor, and the university began its academic session[41] the same month with classes initially held at the Central Hindu School in the Kamachha area, while the campus was being built on over 1300acres of land donated by the Kashi Naresh on the outskirts of the city. The Nizam of Hyderabad and Berar, Mir Osman Ali Khan, also made a donation for the university.[42] [43] [44]
The university's anthem, called Kulgeet, was composed by university professor and eminent scientist Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar.[45]
Campus
Main campus
Banaras Hindu University's main campus is located on the southern edge of Varanasi, near the banks of the river Ganges. Development of the main campus, spread over 1370acres,[46] [47] started in 1916 on land donated by the then Kashi Naresh Prabhu Narayan Singh. The campus layout approximates a semicircle, with intersecting roads laid out along the radii or in arcs. Buildings built in the first half of the 20th century are fine examples of Indo-Gothic architecture.
The campus has over 65 hostels offering residential accommodation for over 12,000 students.[48] On-campus housing is also available to a majority of the full-time faculty.The main entrance gate and boundary wall was built on the donation made by Maharaja of Balrampur, Maharaja Pateshvari Prashad Singh, and is named after him as the .[49]
The Sayaji Rao Gaekwad Library is the main library on campus and houses over 1.3 million volumes as of 2011. Completed in 1941, its construction was financed by Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III of Baroda. In addition to the main library, there are three institute libraries, eight faculty libraries and over 25 departmental libraries available to students and staff.
Sir Sunderlal Hospital on the campus is a teaching hospital for the Institute of Medical Sciences. Established in 1926 with 96 beds, it has since been expanded to over 900 beds and is the largest tertiary referral hospital in the region.
The most prominent landmark is the Shri Vishwanath Mandir, located in the centre of the campus. The foundation for this 252feet high complex of seven temples was laid in March 1931, and took almost three decades to complete.[50]
Established in 1920, Bharat Kala Bhavan is the university museum of the Banaras Hindu University. It is situated inside the main campus of the university with over 100,000 holdings which include artifacts, paintings, philately, textiles, costumes, etc.[51] [52]
Rajiv Gandhi South Campus
The south campus is located in Barkachha in Mirzapur district, about 60km (40miles) southwest of the main campus. Spread over an area of over 2700acres, it was transferred as a lease in perpetuity to BHU by the Bharat Mandal Trust in 1979.[53] [54]
It hosts the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (Agricultural Science Centre), with focus on research in agricultural techniques, agro-forestry and bio-diversity appropriate to the Vindhya Range region.[55] [56] The South Campus features a lecture complex, library, student hostels and faculty housing, besides administrative offices.[57] [58]
Halls of residence
BHU is a fully residential university with a total of 66 hostels[59] - 41 hostels for male, 21 hostels for female students, and 4 hostels for International students.[60] [61]
Hostels in the university are divided among different faculties, institutes, campuses, and colleges catering to their specific demands.[62] Out of the four separate hostels for international students, two are for boys and the other two for girls.
Hostels of the university are named after several historically important figures such as Raja Baldev Das Jugal Kishore Birla, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Rani Laxmibai and M. Visvesvaraya. Some hostels are named after important rivers of India; 'Triveni' for instance was initially a cluster of three girls' hostels named after rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Sarasvati; thereby the cluster being called after Triveni Sangam. Later, hostels named after river Godavari and Kaveri were also added to the 'Triveni' block.[63]

Library
See main article: Sayaji Rao Gaekwad Library, BHU. The Banaras Hindu University Library system was established from a collection donated by P.K. Telang in the memory of his father Justice Kashinath Trimbak Telang in 1917. The collection was housed in the Telang Hall of the Central Hindu College, Kamachha. In 1921, the library was moved to the Central Hall of the Arts College (now the Faculty of Arts).
The present Central Library of BHU was established with a donation from Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III of Baroda. Upon his return from the First round Table Conference, Gaekwad wanted a library built on the pattern of the British Library and its reading room, which was then located in the British Museum. On Malviya's suggestion, he made the donation to build the library on the BHU campus.[225]
The Gaekwad Library is a designated Manuscript Conservation Centre (MCC) of the National Mission for Manuscripts,[226] established in 2003.[227]
By 1931, the library had built a collection of around 60,000 volumes. The trend of donation of personal and family collection to the library continued as late as the 1940s with the result that it has unique pieces of rarities of books and journals dating back to the 18th century.
As of 2011, the BHU Library System consisted of the Central Library and 3 Institute Libraries, 8 Faculty Libraries and over 25 Departmental Libraries, with a collection of at least 1.3 million volumes.[225] The digital library is available to students and staff and provides online access to thousands of journals, besides access to large collections of online resources[228] through the National Informatics Centre's DELNET[229] and UGC's INFLIBNET.[230]
Student life
Festivals and traditions
The Banaras Hindu University observes Saraswati puja day (also known as Vasant Panchami) as its foundation day.[231] [232] Goddess Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, arts, wisdom and nature. She is also the revered mascot of the university, and is a part of the university seal.[233] [234]
There is an intra-university fest, Spandan, where students represent their faculty/institute in various art competitions such as literature (essay-writing, poems, debates), painting, sketches, vocal music, dancing, singing, drama, and mimicry. It is held every year after Vasant Panchami in the month of February or March.[235] Apart from Spandan, each faculty and institute have their own in-house annual festivals.
Since 1971, annual flower exhibition is organised on Malaviya Jayanti (Malaviya's birthday - 25 December).[236] [237]
The university anthem, Banaras Hindu University Kulgeet, is sung in chorus before the convocation or any other official event begins.[238]
Apart from the three national day festivals,[239] [240] [241] the following festivals are celebrated at an official level in the university:
Some other festivals celebrated in the Banaras Hindu University at a non-official, students' level include:
Convocation Dress
Academic costume is mandatory for university convocation. The university's academic costume is White Saree with red border, and red blouse for females; and White Kurta with Dhoti or Pyjama for male students. Both academic costumes include Safa and Uttariya.[288] [289] BHU was the first prominent university in India to ditch Western convocation dress for Indian traditional convocation dress, which led to students at other universities demanding the same,[290] and eventually other universities following suit.[291] [292]
Clubs and societies
BHU has university level Mountaineering Centre,[293] [294] and University Sports Board.[295] [296] Other interest-specific clubs[297] [298] and societies exist at faculty, institute, and college level, like FSS Connect,[299] which is a consortium of all societies and clubs at the Faculty of Social Sciences. In 2022 BHU Connect was introduced, which is a platform that acts as a consortium for different institutes' clubs and societies, as well as act as an umbrella for students run unit to manage clubs, events and ensure help to aspirants and freshers at the Banaras Hindu University.[300]
Awards and medals
Medals and prizes are awarded at faculty, as well as university level. Each faculty and institute have several in-house awards and medals.[301] Some of the university level medals include:
- The BHU Chancellor's Medal is given to the student securing highest CGPA in the university.[302] [301]
- The BHU Medal is given to students who secure the first position in their respective courses (e.g. B.Com.).[303] [301]
- Late Maharaja Vibhuti Narain Singh Gold Medal is given to the student securing the highest CGPA in the university.[304] [305]
- Ex-President of India Dr. Shanker Dayal Sharma Gold Medal is awarded to the student exhibiting best character, academic excellence, outstanding co-curricular, extra-curricular, and social services in the university.[306] [307]
- Bhagwandas Thakurdas Chandwani Gold Medal is given to the student standing first in MBBS at the IMS-BHU.[308]
- The Wagle Gold Medal is given to the student standing first in M.A. Economics.[309] [301]
Student unions and protests
See also: Banaras Hindu University Students' Union. Banaras Hindu University does not have an active political student union, but an administrative student council called the Banaras Hindu University Students Council to represent and safeguard the interests of the students.[310] [311]
Despite no elections, student wings of major political parties have an active presence on the campus.[312] [313]
Organized and unorganized protests are held often in the campus due to the vast majority of students.[314] [315] The most prominent protest in the last few years have been the Banaras Hindu University women's rights protest.[316]

While ustads were thus more or less marginalized at Lucknow's Marris College, AIR and Paluskar's schools, they were, as expected expelled entirely from Benares Hindu University (BHU). Formerly known as Central Hindu College, BHU had been a centre for dissemination of Hindu nationalist ideas since its foundation in 1916. The Theosophist Annie Besant, who was actually the President of Indian National Congress in 1917 - 1918, had established Central Hindu College in 1898, and for a long time it was closely linked with the Theosophical movement. Theosophists generally played an important role in the making of Indian nationalism, especially because they propagated the 'spirituality' of the Hindu (and Buddhist) traditions as superior to Western 'materialistic' civilization..

In Benares, Kawaguchi took up residence in the faculty residence hall at Central Hindu College (later Banares Hindu University) while studying Sanskrit there as well as at the Government Sanskrit College (a.k.a. Benares Sanskrit College; founded in 1791 (p. 84) ... Annie Besant and her Theosophical Society associates founded Central Hindu College in 1898 as part of her broader efforts to build a higher-education system in India that honored Indian traditions. Cultivating the rising tide of nationalism, Besant argued that government-run schools were denigrating Indian language, religion, and literature, turning Indians against their glorious culture. In order to preserve the sanatana Dharma (eternal Dharma, which was understood as "orthodox Hinduism"), Besant garnered the support of many wealthy Indians, including the Maharaja of Benares who augmented the original property holdings with additional land and buildings. At the time of the college's inception, each day began with a Hindu prayer, segregation of students by caste was honored, and religious education in nonsectarian Hinduism as portrayed in the school textbook Sanatana Dharma was emphasized. The founders' concession to modern education was including instruction in science and other subjects that were in tune with the times.(p. 87).
- Book: Jaffe, Richard M. . Seeking Sakyamuni: South Asia in the Formation of Modern Japanese Buddhism. University of Chicago Press . 2019. 978-0-226-39114-4. Over the course of Kawaguchi's seven years in Benares, particularly as Annie Besant became enmeshed in the founding of the Order of the Rising Sun (later Order of the Star in East), which was centered on Jiddu Krishnamurti as the world messiah, Indian supporters sought to wrest control of the college from the Theosophists, fearing that Hindu education was being infused with a Theosophically tinged version of Christianity. By 1911, Madan Mohan Malaviya (1861 - 1946) and others promoting Hindu education were putting plans in place to forge a university that would "train teachers of religion for the preservation and promotion of the Sanatan Dharma which is inculcated by the Srutis, Smritis, and Puranas, and recognised by Varna-Ashram. In addition "the University was to be residential, students were to be admitted directly after the upanayan (sacred thread ceremony) and to observed the laws of Brahmacharya throughout their student career. At the time of the college's thirteenth-anniversary celebrations in December 1911, the Theosophists, including Besant, had lost control of the institution they had begun. Their approach to Hindu education, as expressed in Sanatana Dharma, was abandoned for the more orthodox Hinduism of Malaviya and his associates, who now controlled the governance of the school. By 1913, as Central Hindu College merged into the new Benares Hindu University, the Theosophists were left with but a nominal role in the institution's governance. (pp. 87 - 88).
